    The team are back over to work on the lapsed beech pollards of Burnham this week. Never fail to be inspired & mystidfied by the characteristics of these amazing trees .

    Save me some of that Dan .
  3. David Humphries
    probably from before phones had the ability to take self portraits.........but just about qualifies as a selfie from up amongst the leaves. .

    Just a shot in the dark. Would be very interesting to know the outcome. Like the idea of resurrecting old threads like these, for reasons like Guy has alluded to. Any way you could set a rating system on interesting old threads and have them automatically bumped in a 'historic arbtalk thread' section? .

    Last survey found that there was nearly one per tree across the capital .
  6. David Humphries
    Nothofagus sp (possibly N. dombeyi or N. antarctica) I would think .

    Steve, I know you said you didn't get this job, but I'm wondering if you know if the two beeches are still in the garden and what works were ever carried out, if at all? Are they local? .

    I would like to see a forum thread that 'tweets' what's hot and being discussed on other sites from around the globe that are relevant to our Industry .

    Just for the record, I have just banned TSE. All thought this site is the brain child & property of Mr Bullman, there are many of us that take this type of posting as a direct insult to the contributing members of Arbtalk. There is no room for those members who really only want to toss spanners. .

    I don't have a lot of experience in this field, but it has always struck me as a little odd and counter productive to have the stabilizer poles of barriers the tree side of the CEZ and potentially in the RPA! Obviously having them on the construction side of the barrier would be an obsticle to works. ? .

    Classic images Reg If I'm under the weather, I can barely stomach the idea of sitting in the office these days, hats off to you for going to 'your office' feeling like that. .

    Unlikely as I don't reside locally anymore, but if the occasion happens that I'm ever nearby, I'll try and remember to go have a look. Surprising to see your Phoenix having been left alone, fine additional piece of play equipment for the umpalumpas .

    Slime flux, it's a bacterial wet wood .
  14. David Humphries
    Twin stemmed wild service & oak apart from being a little bigger, about the only thing that has changed about these two trees in the last 102 years .............is the trees around them. .
  15. David Humphries
    not enough close ups with focus on things like the pore surface, spore colour and colour of the flesh & tubes to be overly confident of an Id...........but I would offer up Perenniporia fraxinea as a potential based on host & my findings out in the field. Perenniporia fraxinea - David Humphries’s Fungi Directory - Arbtalk.co.uk | Discussion Forum for Arborists .

    Hello Lumberlover welcome to the site. personally I would think it difficult to asign an identification of Chalara based on one single image. It does seem to show a diamond type lesion on the trunk which is thought to be a symptom. My advise would be to send an enquiry into........ [email protected] .
  17. David Humphries
    and again on a dead log of........well I can't actually remember, but no fruiting present. .
  18. David Humphries
    Ozonium can be present for long periods without fruiting occurring from my experience. Here's one of both the fruit body and ozonium on the beech monolith on West Heath road .
  19. David Humphries
    It's a bright orange hairy carpet which I believe is the air mycelium of certain species of Coprinus Haven't got any shots at hand, and not saying that what Nick has discovered (without the permission of his boss to go fung hunting btw ) is definitely that, but it looks like it. .
  20. David Humphries
    Looks a bit like the ozonium of a Coprinus species .
  21. David Humphries
    Close up....... .
  22. David Humphries
    I would imagine its of the Lycoperdon genus Do you have a shot in site on the Ivy? Lycoperdons can be found on healthy wood, but probably associated with dysfunctional/dead tissue underneath. Like here on London plane .
  23. David Humphries
    You've probably already looked it up Tony, but the 317 records are fairly widespread but mainly from the western half of the UK. British Fungi - record details .

    Lovely image Hello Niall, welcome to the site. and thanks for the Id, one that I had not had the knowledge of before .
  25. David Humphries
    I'm not familiar with that type of application jomoco, haven't read anything about it. But I think uv has been used against the spore of mold in buildings etc..... .
